Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra today held a meeting to review security situation in the wake of the recent terrorist attack in Pampore in Pulwama district.
The Governor chaired the meeting at Raj Bhavan, an official spokesman said.
Reiterating the crucial importance of close coordination among all security forces, the Governor stressed the need for adequate advance planning for ensuring effective maintenance of public order during and after an operation.
The meeting discussed the existing procedures for responding to terror attacks and also deliberated on other important issues relating to security management in the state.
It was decided that certain approaches would be finalised after consultations with Central Armed Para Military Forces, for which the Governor will hold a separate meeting, he said.
"Convene joint regular meetings to share the inputs and
strengthen the communication to foil nefarious designs of the anti-national elements," Kumar said.
Security arrangements for Amarnath Yatra were also discussed in the meeting for its peaceful and smooth conduct.
The annual pilgrimage will begin from the first week of July.
The meeting was informed that all required arrangements have been finalised for a safe and secure pilgrimage.
The DGP asked for smooth regulations of traffic on the national highway and other routes leading to the Holy Cave via Pahalgm and Baltal, so that the pilgrims and commuters do not suffer due to traffic jams.
